Reasons for optimism: ‘Grid Parity’ for renewable energy sources
Seminar | Week 1 | Friday 31 Oct 2014 | Slides available
Progress at decarbonisation will speed up. New or improved technologies now offer us cost-competitive routes to low carbon electricity, heat and transport fuel. Solar PV in sunny countries, onshore wind on coasts, biofuels from bacteria, heat from hot rocks and electricity from tidal lagoons are all capable of reducing our dependence on fossil fuels without increasing consumer bills. The critical remaining problem – storing excess energy [...]
